spare tire mount

I have a 33 inch spare tire sitting around and i was thinking about mounting it in the bed. Has anyone done this, if so could you show me some ideas.

Not the easiest to do (and way-less-than-applicable to most trucks out there), but using the tire mount as a tie in to increase the strength of the rollbar and the rear bumper is one of my favorite mods I've done to my 88. :D

Wait a minute, didn't we cover this a few weeks ago? :hmm: Curse this feeble brain of mine! :teehee: Run a quick search and you might find what you're looking for.

I've always loved this contraption (atleast it's some inspiration):

Doesn't look like it would be that hard to make. :brows:

Woopsiedaisies, I forgot to mention in my above post that i am personally welding/fabbing illiterate. :cry:

If on the other hand you can make one yourself then go for it! Hell i'd pay you money to make me one too

That's the Prerunner gate. CW made the vertical one they have on their site, and I started a prerunner one, but don't know if I'll finish it, cause I like my tailgate too.

I Like this one made by fabtech. I want to build 2 of them for my MJ and YJ.

Hey,

thats funny I want two of these for my same Jeeps...

I just can't justify shelling out that much for a silly in bed carrier when a swing away is near the same amount.

I guess I don't think about people not having access to people that fabricate things. I started my apprenticeship in the metal trades 26 years ago this week. (We need an old smiley guy with a gray beard!)

I have a bender, welder, torch, and a garage full of tools. I can make almost anything. I usually have a buddy build what I want. He has a lot more time and works cheap. I'm more of a :popcorn: these days.

It's an angled bed mounted carrier here's another pic of it mounted

Awesome! Keep up with the pictures. :popcorn:

Love the rear bumper. :bowdown: Man that's clean! :chillin:

I was leaning toward the fabtech one. i think that it would look the coolest because you don't see many trucks with a spare tire mounted in the bed like that. I think that it is around $100 but i willo probably make one.

youve obviously have never been to so cal where most modified trucks run the spre like that

So you know, if you don't attach whatever mount you get/make to the frame, the tire can become a projectile in the wrong situation.

I had my GMC's 33" spare on a steel rim bolted down and it flew more than 20 feet when I rolled my truck. Ripped right out of the bed.

That is so very very true. Gives me one more reason to love mine. :D That tire aint goin' ANYWHERE! :thumbsup:

i live in Wisconsin. All the trucks around here have 44s and big engines. there isn't to many dunes around these parts.
